Looks like Courturier may stay at wing for the tournament since he had a good night tonight.

Nugent Hopkins for being a pure offensive guy hasn't done much at all (points wise anyways).

I think Sheahan played his way onto the team tonight.

Down the middle I think we have Schenn, Johansen and Sheahan. Courturier too if they plan on keeping him at center and tonight was a one time thing. All 4 are big, can be physical and play great in their own end, just what Cameron wants. Cizikas is going to make it too probably if Courturier stays at wing.

So does RNH make this team, not big or defensive like Cameronw ants a t center and didn't put up points really through camp?

The 2 players with the most chemistry in the CHL would be invisible? Give your head a shake. The problem with this team is we are going to be relying on 2 lines to get us a goal when we really need it. Seems like the Canada braintrust is making their decisions based on the red vs white gmaes, rather than what these guys have done with their respective teams this season. Foligno has 1 good game and he is solid gold? What a joke. We'd be much better off having players who play together and have chemistry...like Wilson/Hishon or Toffoli/Prince. Instead we are taking a bunch of muckers who have rarely if ever played together and just PRAY they gel. I won't be shocked if Schenn, Schwartz, and Connolly are the next ones cut. It's too bad Shawn Cronin still isn't eligible....he'd be a perfect fit with this squad.

I totally agree with on Foligno being complete ass crap (even though he has started to improve a tiny bit this season) but Hishon/Wilson having the most chem in the CHL? You must live Owen Sound.

I totally agree with you on Foligno being garbage but Hishon/Wilson having the most chem in the CHL? No way. You must live in Owen Sound.

It's pretty funny that people automatically dismiss Foligno because they don't see him play often or at all. If you were to see him play on a regular basis this year you would understand the level that he is currently playing at. He is a force out on the ice and has really improved offensively. The exact type of physical player the Canada needs in this tournament.

I really hope we don't take 4 17 year olds though, thats way too risky for my likes.

I know what you mean but it's pretty easy to make arguments in favour of all of them right now.

As far as the defensemen go if they choose to leave Gudbranson off then both could make it. It doesn't sound like Barrie, Pysyk or Despres have been good enough however Despres may have come around tonight and he is a 19 year old that was expected to be there.

Couturier's gotta be on, RNH sounds like a good bet to be 13th forward and Ryan Murphy has shown quite well. Really hard to say though....their probably mulling over this as we speak.

On TSN Bob didnt seem to think RNH showed enough to make the team this year since they will already have a few 17 year olds and he didnt really do enough apparently.

Disappointment after disappointment with that guy. If Larsson's point totals are seen as a negative, then you have to think that RNH's performance through the first half of the season is even more concerning. There's a point where you can't just talk about "oh, but he's got the tools" —*you have to see some evidence.
